I’m super happy to introduce all of you to an artist that has never been featured on the gallery. Rebekah Codlin is an amazing talent who specializes in realistic portraiture…

Paul Shipper does not work exclusively in watercolor, or at all, and so you may be wondering why I chose him as the next interview. Read on to find out…

With this interview I begin to move away from interviewing watercolor artists that have only been featured here on the gallery to interviewing artists that inspire me across the board. I’m really excited to share this interview with you.

This interview has been in the works since the January of this year and I couldn’t be more excited to be sharing it with all of you. Finally!

I think you’ll enjoy the background story of the piece I featured and the name and feel of the painting will make a lot of sense.

Visnoski has a unique vision and perspective and it explodes off the canvas in her pieces.

This interview with Paul Bailey has been a long time coming. Nearly three years in fact.

It just so happens that Kannika’s painting is, by far, the most popular painting in our archive. When I asked my wife Eliza to assist me with picking some of the artists from our archive to interview for this series Eliza’s first choice was Kannika.

Tina Bohlman has been painting since the early 1970s. For the first 20 years of her journey in watercolor she participated in an average of 30 competitions per year! The math on my napkin here tells me that is 2 or 3 competitions per month and 600 for that 20 year period.

Since Rod lives and paints on the north east coast of England – just on the shore of the North Sea – his paintings are generally of things dealing with the coast, the water, fishing and tourist attractions.

I firmly believed that his work was done in traditional watercolor. As it turns out, Reza uses digital tools rather than real-world ones to do his work.

Her style is varied yet several undertones seem to peak through her work. Vibrant landscapes, solemn – slightly washed-out portraits, and intricate cityscapes seem to be the running themes.

Andrew’s style is one I greatly admire. Quick, messy, artsy yet incredibly good. He’s a natural.
